To Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} x.976 qFC Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}9/LG23.6.20. RE - PETROL. Why is it that we stick to Mex Petrol? Do we get better terms from them than we get from the Shell? I think there is no doubt, that the Shell people are the most progressive people on Motor Spirit. They do carry out extensive tests on different fuels and maintain a very high quality. If there is no difference in the cost I think we should certainly consider using Shell Spirit.
